Navi Display Won’t Switch to Night Mode With Headlights Turned On
Currently Applies To: ’03–07 Accords, ’06–08 Civics, ’07–08 CR-Vs, ’05–08 Odysseys, and ’06–08 Ridgelines with navigation system
Got a vehicle in your shop because the navigation
system display screen won’t automatically switch to
Night mode when you turn on the headlights? The
reason could be the dash illumination control setting.
NOTE: Depending on the vehicle that you’re working
on, this control could be a knob, a button, or a pair of
buttons.
If the control is set to full brightness when the headlights
are on, it overrides automatic display mode switching
and the display screen stays in Day mode no matter if
the headlights are on or off. This comes in handy if
you’re driving in daylight with the headlights on but you
want the display screen bright so that it’s easier to read.
To fix this problem, here’s what you need to do:
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn on the headlights, and adjust the dash illumination control setting from full brightness down a few
clicks to middle brightness.
3. Turn off the headlights, and shut off the engine.
4. Start the engine again.
5. Turn on the headlights, and watch the display screen.
• If the display screen switches to Night mode, you’re done with this repair.
• If the display screen stays in Day mode, refer to the Navigation System section of the applicable
S/M and continue with normal troubleshooting.
For more info on automatic display mode switching and for recommended display mode settings, check
out System Set-up in the applicable O/M.
